Dodgers Considered Favorites For Roki Sasaki

The Los Angeles Dodgers are considered the front runners and heavy favorites to sign young Japanese pitching phenom Roki Sasaki.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell capitalized on the absence of Michael Pittman Jr. in Week 10, snaring all six of his targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Bills.

Falcons Defense Usable In Week 10 Against Reeling Saints

The Falcons defense has not been great this season by any means, recording seven interceptions, three fumble recoveries, and a league-low nine sacks. However, Week 10 brings a matchup with the Saints, a team that will be without their top two receivers, Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, without rookie wideout Bub Means, without veteran receiver […]

Tyler Allgeier A Risky Flex Play In Week 10

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier found the end zone last week to the displeasure of Bijan Robinson managers, and if he hadn't it would have been a terribly quiet day, logging just six carries for 18 yards while not recording even a single target for the second consecutive week.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce hauled in three passes for 41 yards in Week 9 after totaling three catches for 36 yards over the prior three weeks.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was held in check in Week 9 against a stout Vikings rush defense, but Week 10 brings a much more favorable matchup.

Josh Downs To Get Plenty Of Looks As WR2 In Week 10

Joe Flacco A Low-End QB2 In Week 10

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco started in place of the struggling Anthony Richardson in Week 9 versus the Vikings, but the veteran QB was unable to get the offense going, completing 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards, no touchdowns, one interception, and a fumble.

Bijan Robinson An RB1 In Week 10 Versus Struggling Saints Defense

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson was held out of the end zone in Week 9 for the first time since Week 5 but is in prime position to find paydirt again in Week 10. The second-year pro has scored four rushing TDs and one receiving TD on the year, while the Falcons' Week 10 […]

Darnell Mooney A Dependable WR2 In Week 10

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney has topped 80 yards receiving and scored in two consecutive games, continuing to earn consistent looks in the Falcon passing attack.
